Mom accused of shooting 20-year-old male she found under her 13-year-old daughter's bed — now mom is charged with murder



Police in Memphis, Tennessee, said officers responded to a shooting in the 3000 block of Travis Road around 1:50 a.m. Thursday.

Officers at the scene saw a male suffering from a gunshot wound, and police said the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

'Get out of my house, b***h.'

Kendra Scott, 36, was arrested at the scene and later charged with first-degree murder and employing a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony, police said.

But the New York Post said Scott found the 20-year-old male in question hiding under her 13-year-old daughter's bed.

The Post added that an arrest affidavit it obtained indicates Scott told police she came home and "saw a dude under" the bed — "and I did what I had to do."

The affidavit also said the gunshot wound was in the back of the male's head, the Post added, and that he was found outside the home.

More from the paper:

The deadly incident unfolded after Scott’s teen daughter told cops she invited the man, Rodderius Morton, to the family’s home at around 1 a.m., according to the court document and Scott’s lawyer.

An enraged Scott started pounding on the front door and bellowing, “Who’s at my house?!” when she arrived home around 30 minutes later, the affidavit states.

Her unidentified daughter grew terrified when she noticed her mom was allegedly holding a gun.

Scott had said that if she “sees a boy in my house I will put a hole in his ass,” the daughter later told cops, according to the affidavit.

The Post, citing the court document, reported that the teen soon let her mother inside, where Scott allegedly found Morton hiding under the bed. It isn't clear why Scott had to be let inside her own house.

"Get out of my house, bitch," Scott allegedly screamed, the paper said, adding that Scott followed Morton out the front door.

Then Scott's daughter and a neighbor allegedly heard a gunshot, the Post said.

The paper, citing the affidavit, reported that the neighbor later told police he came outside and saw Scott still holding the gun and standing by the man's body while admitting, "I shot him, I shot him."

Officers recovered one spent shell casing on the front porch as well as a Smith & Wesson black handgun, the Post reported, citing the document.

"This incident started with the worst nightmare of any parent of a 13-year-old girl," Scott's lawyer, Blake Ballin, told the paper, adding that "predictably, it ended in tragedy. One of the key questions in this case will be whether anyone could act rationally in this circumstance."

Retired law enforcement officer and firearm self-defense trainer Buddy Smith told WMC-TV that what's known so far about the shooting would not qualify under Tennessee's Castle Doctrine.

"Which means you're allowed to protect the people in your residence when someone breaks in to commit a violent felony against you or someone in your house," Smith told the station, adding that "the affidavit does not allege that he threatened the mother or anyone else at that time, and those alleged facts will likely be important issues for the court, and ultimately a jury."

Gloria Milon, an area resident, told WMC she sympathizes with Scott: "She seemed like a real nice lady. All I can say is, that hurts that someone was in there with one of her little girls."

Another neighbor who asked not to be identified told the station that Scott should have called police instead: "If it would've been me in that situation, and I had seen her on that doorbell camera, I would've called the police and had them sitting at my house when I got there. Therefore, you take him out, take him on to jail."

A judge on Monday set Scott's bond at $100,000; her next court date is scheduled for Aug. 3, WMC reported in a separate story. Jail records indicate Scott remained behind bars Tuesday.

Teen accused of stabbing mother to death, seriously wounding father — reportedly after argument over discipline



A 17-year-old Alabama male is accused of stabbing his mother to death and seriously wounding his father reportedly after an argument over discipline Sunday night, WALA-TV reported.

The suspect faces murder and attempted murder charges, the station said.

‘Please help me, I don’t want to die.’

Investigators with the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office identified the teen’s mother as 37-year-old Samantha Baker, who died outside the family’s home on Augustine Drive in Daphne, WALA reported.

Her husband, 46-year-old Lance Baker, suffered multiple stab wounds, the station said, adding that deputies found him outside a neighboring home, after which he was flown to a hospital. He remained in critical condition Monday, WALA noted.

“Our male who is still in critical condition but is hopefully going to survive — he was running to houses trying to get some help,” Capt. Justin Correa of the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office told the station.

Investigators told WALA that the suspect and his parents were in an argument over discipline when the teen stabbed his parents inside and outside the home. The station said the crime scene extended across half the block and into several neighboring yards.

Next-door neighbor Shawn Scurry told WALA she reviewed her security camera video after the incident.

“That was probably the hardest part, was pulling up my camera and listening to it and listening to the father yelling for help: 'Please help me, I don’t want to die,'" Scurry recounted to the station. “And it just carried on down, and it looks like he was trying to find an open door, and I didn’t know where he was or where anybody was.”

Prosecutors said the juvenile locked himself inside the family home and called 911 after the attack, WALA reported, adding that he was arrested at the scene.

Police described the incident as a domestic situation that escalated, the station noted.

“It is really sad. It’s very sad for this family, having to deal with it," Correa told WALA. "From everything we can see at this point, this was an isolated domestic incident that really just got out of control."

The suspect appeared in court for a bond hearing Monday morning, the station said, adding that prosecutors requested a high bond. Baldwin County Assistant District Attorney Patrick Doggett argued for the high amount.

WALA's video report indicated that the teen suspect — whose bond was set at $1 million — is being charged as an adult.

18-year-old thug allegedly guns down 40-year-old mom as she protects her son amid Facebook Marketplace purchase gone wrong



An 18-year-old male allegedly gunned down a 40-year-old mother as she protected her son amid a Facebook Marketplace watch transaction last week in Indiana.

John Harrison Ford is now charged with murder, felony murder, attempted murder, and attempted armed robbery after Jean Gragg died from her injuries Saturday, WNDU-TV reported, citing amended charging documents. Ford also faces a felony firearm enhancement, the station said.

'2 words....DEATH PENALTY!'

The shooting occurred Wednesday, June 10, in the 2600 block of MacArthur Avenue on South Bend’s east side, WNDU reported.

Police said Gragg's son was trying to sell a watch to Ford as part of a transaction he arranged through Facebook Marketplace, the station said.

Gragg's son told police that Ford pulled a gun while looking at the watch, said he needed it, and tried snatching it from the son, WNDU reported.

But police said Gragg got in between Ford and her son and chased Ford away from the property, the station said.

Surveillance video shows Ford shooting toward Gragg multiple times after she turned around and ran back toward the home, WNDU reported, citing investigators. Police said Gragg was shot in the head, the station said.

Ford during an interview with detectives reportedly admitted that he shot Gragg, WNDU reported.

He remained Tuesday in St. Joseph County Jail, records indicate. No bail is listed.

  • "If you're gonna sell stuff on Marketplace, go to the South Bend police station, 701 W. Sample onto East End," another user said. "They have a designated area with cameras. It's a safe zone. I use it all the time."
  • "Condolences to her family," another commenter reacted.
  • "2 words....DEATH PENALTY!" another user suggested.
  • "Public hanging," another commenter offered.
  • "Does he look sorry?" another user wondered.

18-year-old accused of stabbing his elderly grandmother to death; cops find knives protruding from victim's body



An 18-year-old New Jersey male is accused of stabbing his elderly grandmother to death — and police found knives protruding from the victim's body Monday morning.

Louis Brown of Jackson Township on Monday was charged with murder, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and unlawful possession of a weapon, all in connection with the death of his grandmother, 69-year-old Darlene Brown also of Jackson Township, the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office said.

'An unbelievably nice person — the nicest person to talk to, intelligent, just always helpful, always kind.'

Jackson Township Police Department officers around 7 a.m. Monday responded to a residence on Justin Way in reference to a 911 call stating that someone had been murdered, officials said.

Officers found Louis Brown standing at the front doorway of the residence, officials said, adding that Brown exited the residence with his hands up and was immediately taken into custody while officers conducted their investigation.

Officers entered the home and found the body of a deceased female — later identified as Darlene Brown — in an upstairs bedroom with apparent stab wounds to her face and neck, officials said, adding that officers observed two knives protruding from the victim.

An investigation — which was conducted by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, Jackson Township Police Department Detective Bureau, and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit — revealed that Louis Brown was the individual who called 911 and was responsible for his grandmother’s death, officials said.

Brown was charged and taken to the Ocean County Jail, where he remained Tuesday morning. There is no hearing information in Brown's jail record, which also lists no bail.

Jasmina Perazic, a resident of the complex where the stabbing took place, told NJ.com Darlene Brown lived in a unit with her grandson, Louis Brown, a high school senior.

Perazic — the head women’s basketball coach at Georgian Court University — told the outlet that Louis Brown moved in with his grandmother after his mom died of sickle cell anemia. Perazic described Darlene Brown as a friendly person whom she spoke to at least five times a week, NJ.com added.

“An unbelievably nice person — the nicest person to talk to, intelligent, just always helpful, always kind," Perazic said to the outlet in regard to Darlene Brown. “It just looked like she was working so hard to take care of him.”

Perazic added to NJ.com that Louis Brown was quiet and had been bullied in school, but she saw no warning signs that anything was wrong. In fact, Perazic told the outlet that his grandmother said Louis Brown was a good kid who was doing well in school.

'You're a dead man!' Enraged family members explode at arrested male accused of fatally shooting boy, 15, at NYC playground



An enraged crowd of family members exploded with profanities and racial slurs at an arrested male accused of fatally shooting a 15-year-old boy at a New York City playground earlier this month.

Police had to restrain relatives of victim Jaden Pierre while 18-year-old Zahir Davis was being walked out of the 113th Precinct on Saturday, WCBS-TV reported.

'Look at my face! I hope they f**k you up every f**kin' day!'

Davis was then taken to his arraignment in Queens criminal court where he was charged with second-degree murder, gang assault, and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, the station said.

Davis' private attorney entered a not guilty plea, WCBS reported.

During his perp walk out of the precinct, the crowd didn't hold back their anger at Davis:

  • "You're a f**kin' piece of s**t!"
  • "You're a f**kin' bitch!"
  • "You're a dead man!"
  • "How dare you do that to my nephew!"
  • "Look at my face! I hope they f**k you up every f**kin' day!"

Content warning:Profanity and racial slurs:

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch on Saturday morning announced Davis' arrest — noting that Davis fled to Jamaica following the deadly April 16 shooting.

"NYPD detectives assigned to the U.S. Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force have arrested Zahir Davis for the senseless murder of 15-year-old Jaden Pierre in a park in Queens last week," Tisch wrote on X. "Davis fled to Jamaica following the shooting and was arrested immediately when he landed back in NYC last night."

Officials told WCBS that while Pierre was being beaten, Davis allegedly pulled a handgun from his bag and shot Pierre in the chest.

The Queens District Attorney's Office added to the station that Davis flew to Jamaica the next day "to evade responsibility," and police urged Davis' family to have him fly back home.

Davis is due back in court Wednesday, WCBS reported, adding that he faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted.

Davis is a reputed gang member, WABC-TV reported, adding that detectives believe the shooting stemmed from previous fights between him and Pierre.

WABC also noted that detectives who reviewed cellphone video believe Davis may have been attempting to pistol-whip Pierre, but the gun went off.

The victim's older sister, 17-year-old Nellie Pierre, had harsh words for those recording video of the attack on her brother, telling the New York Daily News that "everyone there recording did nothing. They treated it all as entertainment. He was already beat up. He was helpless, and they shot him."

WABC also reported that Davis was separately charged with aggravated harassment and harassment for allegedly threatening to shoot his ex-girlfriend, the mother of his child, on April 12. That was just four days before the fatal shooting of Pierre.

Steak 'n Shake worker shot dead at drive-through window allegedly after argument over onion rings. Murder charge filed.



A murder charge was filed Monday in connection with the fatal shooting of a St. Louis-area Steak 'n Shake worker at the fast-food restaurant's drive-through window earlier this month — allegedly after an argument over onion rings, KMOV-TV reported.

Shortly after prosecutors announced the murder charge in the case, family members of the victim — Chauncia Meekins — gathered for a vigil outside the Steak 'n Shake in Spanish Lake, Missouri, where she was shot and killed on the night of April 8, KMOV reported. Spanish Lake is about a half hour north of St. Louis.

'Chauncia just so happened to be in harm's way; this could have been anyone's child, at the convenience store buying potato chips, at the gas station taking too long at the pump.'

St. Louis County prosecutors said 20-year-old Jada Bell is charged with six felonies in the case, including murder and armed criminal action, the station said.

"I saw my daughter as she's getting ready to be laid to rest. She looked beautiful, she looked happy, right, and I didn't know why, but now I know why she is happy ... because her crime has been solved," Chauncey Lovell Meekins, Chauncia's father, told KMOV.

Family members added to KMOV that the arrest, while it doesn't bring Meekins back, does set in motion the chance for accountability.

"As a family, as a whole, we will be pushing for the death penalty — not for revenge, but to set an example because we need to stop this senseless violence out here," Anthony Willhite, Meekins' cousin, told the station.

Willhite added to KMOV that the violence could happen to anyone, anywhere: "Chauncia just so happened to be in harm's way; this could have been anyone's child, at the convenience store buying potato chips, at the gas station taking too long at the pump."

Jail records indicate Bell's next court date is scheduled for Tuesday. A previous KMOV story said Bell was being held on a $1 million, cash-only, no 10% bond.

The station, citing court records, said Bell pulled up to the Steak 'n Shake drive-through window and had a dispute with employees, including Meekins, over her food order.

KMOV said Bell threw her drink at Meekins, who threw it back at her — and then Bell fired several shots from a handgun at Meekins, who died as a result of the shooting.

Another person was shot in the hand, the station said, adding that the shooting was recorded on surveillance video from the restaurant. Bell's phone was in the area at the time of the shooting, KMOV added.

Meekins' mother, Tamela Washington, told the station the argument was over onion rings: "It's never that serious to take a person's life over fast food."

Bronx male allegedly says 'f**k you' to elderly neighbor's gripe about loud music. As tensions rise, elderly man grabs a gun.



Gilbert Smalls, 76, told police he complained about loud music coming from 21-year-old Justin Chatfield's next-door apartment in the River Park Towers in the Morris Heights section of the Bronx on Thursday night, the New York Daily News reported, citing law enforcement sources.

With that, Smalls claimed the much younger Chatfield responded “f**k you” to his complaint; their argument took place through a wall that separates their apartments, the Daily News said.

'Her baby, one of her babies, died in her arms.'

Moments later, Smalls told police he heard seven shots fired outside his window, the paper said, citing sources. Police haven't determined if shots actually were fired, the Daily News added.

Smalls, who lives with his wife and told police he's in poor health, then got his gun — a 9-mm pistol he keeps in a safe, the paper said.

Smalls then stepped into the hallway, the Daily News said, adding that Smalls' doorway and Chatfield's doorway are just inches apart.

Law enforcement sources told the paper that surveillance video obtained by investigators shows Smalls opening fire at Chatfield as soon as Chatfield came to his own apartment doorway.

Walter Fields — an attorney and longtime friend of Chatfield's family — told the Daily News that after Chatfield was shot, he stumbled back into his apartment and tried to get help from his mother.

“Her baby, one of her babies, died in her arms,” Fields told the paper last week.

The Daily News said Chatfield was rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital but couldn't be saved.

RELATED: 19-year-old thug reportedly violated bond at least a half dozen times before being accused of murder — while out on probation

Sources told the paper that police soon knocked on Smalls' door with the intention of asking to look at his Ring doorbell video — but Smalls confessed instead.

“I’m the one who shot him,” one source quoted Smalls saying, the Daily News reported.

More from the paper:

Smalls then led police into his apartment and gave officers the key to the safe containing his gun, sources said.

The suspect suggested he shot his neighbor thinking he may have been armed, sources said.

He complained of health issues, telling cops he doesn’t expect to “make it,” presumably while behind bars, sources said.

Smalls was arraigned Saturday on murder and gun possession charges in Bronx Criminal Court and ordered held without bail, the Daily News said, adding that Smalls' lawyer declined comment Monday.

Sources told the paper there had been previous tensions between Smalls and Chatfield, but it doesn't appear police had ever been called to their apartments.

Chatfield had multiple arrests on his record, most recently for robbery in January 2025, police told the Daily News.

A large makeshift memorial was set up outside the apartment building for Chatfield, the paper said.

Chatfield also was expecting a child with his longtime girlfriend, the Daily News said. The couple were high school sweethearts, Fields added to the paper.

“He was very close to having a baby — I mean, within months," Fields also told the Daily News. "He should be a new father. He was looking for work, going to trade schools. He was really trying to become a productive member. Support his family, support his child.”

19-year-old thug reportedly violated bond at least a half dozen times before being accused of murder — while out on probation



A 19-year-old Texas male reportedly violated bond at least a half dozen times before being accused of murder — while he was out on probation.

In June 2024, Johnnie Lillie was sentenced to probation for burglary of a motor vehicle, KRIV-TV reported.

'All you had to do on one occasion was either revoke his probation or revoke his bond. That would’ve taken him out of being in the community.'

"While he's on probation, he picks up a possession of a prohibited weapon [charge], a machine gun. That's pretty serious," Andy Kahan with Crime Stoppers told the station.

KRIV reported that instead of revoking Lillie's probation and sending him to jail, he was granted bond.

Then while free on that bond, Lillie was charged with another burglary of a motor vehicle, the station said.

"Now he's out on not one, but two bonds, and is still on probation," Kahan explained to KRIV.

Citing court documents, the station said Lillie violated his bond at least half a dozen times.

RELATED: Repeat offenders charged with murdering elderly woman; one suspect was on bond and skipped court days before fatal shooting

Then came Sept. 22, 2025 — the date when Lillie allegedly shot and killed 29-year-old Jermarkus Johnson, KRIV reported.

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said on that date deputies learned a gunshot victim had been transported to a hospital by private vehicle.

The victim, identified as Johnson, was pronounced dead at the hospital, the sheriff said.

Detectives learned the shooting stemmed from an altercation during a dice game, Gonzalez said, adding that homicide detectives identified and charged Lillie for allegedly shooting Johnson.

Lillie was arrested on Oct. 1 at the courthouse when he appeared for an unrelated charge, the sheriff said, adding that Lillie was booked into the Harris County Jail.

According to Harris County Jail records, Lillie is charged with murder and unlawful possession of a weapon. His bond for the murder charge is $250,000; his bond for the unlawful possession of a weapon charge is $60,000. His next court date is scheduled for April 23. Blaze News on Friday confirmed with the jail that Lillie remains incarcerated.

KRIV said Lillie was under the supervision of both the probation department and pretrial services "but that didn't stop him from allegedly committing murder."

Kahan added to the station that "pretrial services says we cannot monitor him, he's not abiding by any of his conditions. And again, he's allowed to remain on probation and multiple bonds."

KRIV concluded that "Lillie is one of many defendants who violate conditions of probation and bond, but nothing happens to them. Still taxpayers fork over money for two entities to supervise and report violations."

Kahan added to the station that "all you had to do on one occasion was either revoke his probation or revoke his bond. That would’ve taken him out of being in the community. It would have had him locked up, and Jermarkus Johnson would be alive today."

Thug who's been deported 4 times faces upgraded charges after elderly man he's accused of shoving onto NYC subway tracks dies



An illegal alien who's been deported four times faces upgraded charges now that the elderly Air Force veteran he's accused of shoving onto subway tracks in New York City earlier this month has died.

Bairon Posada-Hernandez — a Honduran national with 15 prior charges on his record — was initially charged with attempted murder in connection with the incident, the Department of Homeland Security said.

'I hope he rots in hell.'

However, the New York Daily News, citing court records, reported that charges against the 34-year-old suspect were upgraded to murder Wednesday after the elderly victim who had been on life support recently passed away.

More from the Daily News:

Richard Williams, 83, was waiting on the downtown platform for the F and Q trains at the Lexington Ave.-63rd St. station when he was shoved onto the tracks around 11:30 a.m. on March 8. Moments before, the assailant had pushed a 30-year-old man standing next to Williams onto the tracks as well without saying a word, cops said.

Williams was rushed to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell in critical condition, the paper said, adding that his eldest daughter said he wasn't expected to survive.

“It doesn’t look good,” Debbie Williams told the Daily News from her father's bedside. Richard Williams died on March 17, the paper said.

Police told the Daily News that the city’s medical examiner attributed Williams’ cause of death to multiple blunt-force injuries.

RELATED: 'Heinous' thug accused of shoving 83-year-old military vet onto NYC subway tracks was deported 4 times, charged 15 times: DHS

"I hope he rots in hell,” Debbie Williams said of the suspect, according to the paper.

Posada-Hernandez pleaded not guilty earlier this month; his arraignment on the new charges is scheduled for Monday, the paper said.

The suspect's attorney Michael Papson told the Daily News his client "vehemently denies these allegations. He’s never been arrested in the state of New York — ever.”

However, Homeland Security Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis had a different take, calling Posada-Hernandez a "heinous" and "serial criminal" who "should never have been able to walk our streets and harm innocent Americans."

More from DHS:

Posada-Hernandez first entered the country on January 2, 2008, and has been deported four different times, most recently in 2020. He entered illegally a fifth time at an unknown date and location.

The suspect has a lengthy criminal history, including 15 prior charges such as simple assault, domestic violence, obstruction of police, possession of a weapon, drug possession, and aggravated assault.

Quadruple amputee who is also a professional cornhole player accused of fatally shooting his car passenger



A quadruple amputee who is also a professional cornhole player is accused of fatally shooting his car passenger, according to numerous reports. But how could he have fired a gun?

Two people flagged down police officers in La Plata, Maryland, at 10:25 p.m. Sunday, the Charles County Sheriff's Office said. La Plata is about 35 miles south of Washington, D.C.

'It’s early in the investigation, but there’s no evidence to suggest anyone else was involved in the shooting and that he acted alone.'

Officials said a preliminary investigation revealed the two people in question were in the back seat of a car when the driver — Dayton James Webber, 27, of La Plata — shot and killed the front-seat passenger during an argument.

Officials said Webber pulled over and asked the two passengers to help pull the victim out of the car — but the two witnesses refused, exited the car, and left the scene.

Webber then fled with the victim still in the car, officials said, adding that all the occupants of the car are known to each other.

A search began, and nearly two hours later, a resident of Charlotte Hall, Maryland, called 911 to report a body in a yard, officials said.

Officers responded and found the victim — Bradrick Michael Wells, 27, of Waldorf — who was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.

Charles County Sheriff’s Office detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Webber and found his car in Charlottesville, Virginia, officials said.

Webber was found at a nearby hospital seeking treatment for a medical issue, officials said.

Upon Webber's release from the hospital, officers with the Albemarle County Police Department arrested Webber, officials said.

Webber soon was arraigned in the District Court of Maryland for Charles County, WTTG-TV reported, adding that he was charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and two counts of first-degree assault.

RELATED: All-out brawl ... at a cornhole tournament fundraiser? Sadly, yes: 'Alcohol and beanbags do not mix'

WTTG, citing a statement of charges filed by Det. M. Bigelow of the Charles County Sheriff’s Office, said Webber picked up two people from work in a vehicle with Wells already in the front passenger seat.

While the vehicle was in motion, an argument broke out between Webber and Wells, the station said, citing the documents.

The two witnesses told police that Webber pulled out a firearm and shot Wells twice in the head during the argument, WTTG reported.

The statement of charges also indicates that Webber soon pulled the vehicle over and asked the passengers to remove Wells from the car, but they refused, exited the vehicle, and flagged down a police officer, the station said. Webber drove off with Wells still inside the car, WTTG said.

Around 12:41 a.m. Monday, a Charlotte Hall resident found Wells’ body on the side of a road, the station said, citing the documents.

The statement of charges notes that both witnesses from the car positively identified Webber as the shooter and Wells as the victim, WTTG reported, which provided the basis for the murder and assault charges against Webber.

Police have not explained how Webber — a quadruple amputee — was able to drive a car or fire a weapon, the station said.

"It’s early in the investigation, but there’s no evidence to suggest anyone else was involved in the shooting and that he acted alone," Diane Richardson of the Charles County Sheriff's Office told WTTG in a statement.

However, the station in its story included links to videos posted on social media that WTTG said "do appear to show Webber shooting rifles and 9mm handguns."

The station, citing reports, said Webber underwent quadruple amputation as a baby after a blood infection.

What's more, WTTG said Webber is a professional cornhole player in the American Cornhole League.

"That's one of the great things about our sport, how accessible it is, and how we like to say anyone can play, anyone can win, because if you want to put your mind to it, you want to put the time into practice, you can become competitive," ACL Commissioner Stacey Moore told Fox News Digital earlier this month, according to the station.

Those who have more information about this case are asked to call Det. R. Johnson at 301-609-6453, WTTG said.

Tipsters who want to remain anonymous may contact Charles County Crime Solvers by calling 1-866-411-TIPS, the station said, adding that tips also can be submitted online at www.charlescountycrimesolvers.com or by using the P3Intel mobile app.
